Healthcare IT News reported recently that nearly three-quarters (73 percent) of health systems with more than 300 beds — and 81 percent of providers with fewer than 300 beds — are shifting their focus to IT outsourcing for development and complex infrastructure services. Their data was based on Black Book Research that surveyed 1,030 hospital CIOs and IT leaders and 243 CFOs and financial executives from 266 hospitals and the business managers from 1,400 outpatient, alternative care and physician practices for their insights on technology and outsourcing services options.
The Black Book study’s overwhelming conclusion was that immediate access to a fully-trained staff and its technology, in combination with a positive return-on-investment, are the driving forces behind the turn toward IT outsourcing, especially as the demand on healthcare organizations grow in complexity.
Doug Brown, managing partner of Black Book, said, “Our research found that most hospital leaders see no choice but to evaluate and leverage next-generation information and financial systems as an outsourced service in order to keep their organizations solvent and advancing technologically.”
